I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
Said, I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin&#39; hard all day,
just step in my shoes and take my pay.

I was born my papa&#39;s son,
when I hit the ground I was on the run.
I had one glad hand and the other behind.
You can have yours, just give me mine.
When the hound dog barkin&#39; in the black of the night,
stick my hand in my pocket, everything&#39;s all right.

I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, I do, man, my bag is full.
It&#39;s the root of evil and you know the rest
but it&#39;s way ahead of what&#39;s second best.
